Chapter 130: Arrogance

Xie Wu was busy running the poetry club, and the Xie family was not idle.

Shengjing City has never lacked people who tend to be inflammatory, Xie Wu is going to hold a large-scale poetry meeting, and the news that the Jin Wangfu and the Meng Guofu will be invited to attend once the news came out, the Xie family will be beautiful, and the socialization is also frequent.

And the most beautiful of them is naturally Xie Wu's mother, the prince of Weiyuan Hou's Mansion, Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie is proud of giving birth to a promising son, these days, with Xie Wu's light, she is more and more status in the circle of noblewomen in Shengjing, and she is becoming more and more sought after, every time she attends the banquet, there will be a group of ladies and wives around her, even those ladies and wives who did not care about her in the past have recently come to the door to talk to her and set friendships, and the posts inviting her to the banquet are getting more and more day by day, Mrs. Xie feels that there is no longer a face than this.

During this time, because of her limelight in the circle of noblewomen, Mrs. Xie can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and even walks with the wind, and as more and more people flatter and flatter, Mrs. Xie, who was dazzled by the prosperity, began to get carried away.

The Xie family is also a famous family, a scholarly family, and the Xie family's reputation outside has always been noble and elegant, and the style is also very low-key and modest, but in the past few days, Mrs. Xie has been dissatisfied with this.

The more banquets she attended, the more noble ladies she came into contact with, and Mrs. Xie's horizons became more and more broadened, she was no longer satisfied with dignified and elegant dress, she thought that only luxurious and high-end jewelry and clothes could be worthy of her current status. So, she quarreled with the prince of Weiyuan Hou and hinted to the old lady of Weiyuan Hou that she could add more luxurious and rare jewelry, so that she could not be compared to others at the banquet.

Even if the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion has a solid background, it is impossible to pile up the silver on only one person, but the wives of the rest of the rooms will not agree, not to mention that the Xie family wants to maintain the reputation of the noble in the past. Yes. The explicit hint to Mrs. Xie that the Xie family only pretended not to understand, and Mrs. Xie pretended to be sick and did not want to see Mrs. Xie again. In this way, Mrs. Xie was so angry that after she cried directly to her son, she took the maid back to her parents' house.

Xie Wu is naturally on Mrs. Xie's side, and now that he is in the limelight, of course, he also hopes that his mother can appear in front of people decently, at least not to embarrass him. However, he will not be stupid enough to go against Mrs. Xie and the aunts, he pretends, pretends to be low, pretends to be sad, he says that he is busy for the fame of the family, but he doesn't even have time to take care of his mother, it is really unfilial, and now that his mother has returned to his parents' house, he has no intention of caring about the affairs of the poetry club anymore, he just wants to accompany his mother.

As soon as he said this, Old Marquis Xie was in a hurry, and he had reached this juncture, how could he say that he didn't care about it? Immediately, the old marquis Xie ordered Uncle Xie to pick up Mrs. Xie back to the house in a good voice, and beat Mrs. Xie again, telling Mrs. Xie not to be too short-sighted, to appease the rest of the daughters-in-law, and then give the eldest daughter-in-law a few sets of satisfactory head jewelry, of course, but also to cut new clothes.

Old Marquis Xie said simply, Mrs. Xie was so angry that she almost got out of breath and less air, because as soon as Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, she had to pay for thousands of taels or even thousands of taels of jewelry, and she also asked for four or five sets of clothes in one go, not to mention clothes, but all the new styles this year, she had to use the best materials to make two sets of different colors, saying that it was a set to wear when entertaining guests at home, and a set to wear when going out to socialize.

After such a few sets of purchases, it cost tens of thousands of taels at once, Mrs. Xie was distressed, she married into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for decades, and has always adhered to the ancestral teachings of the Xie family, diligent and thrifty, and did not dare to waste a penny extravagantly, even to attend the banquet on weekdays, she is also as low-key and introverted as possible, thinking that her most expensive set of heads, or the dowry purchased by her mother's family when she got married, compared with the style of the eldest daughter-in-law today, how did she swallow this breath?

was pressed by her daughter-in-law who climbed to the top of her head, and Mrs. Xie was depressed and fell ill.

If that's the case, that's all, what's even more annoying is that even if Mrs. Xie is sick and can't get out of bed, Mrs. Xie refuses to give her a sick life, Old Marquis Xie and Uncle Xie still blindly let her endure, not only do not allow her to make a noise, but also don't allow her to call her married daughter back to talk with her, saying that it is a special period, and she will talk about it after the poetry meeting, so that Mrs. Xie is depressed, and her condition is getting more and more serious, this trip is more than half a month.

Compared with Mrs. Xie's repeated forbearance, Mrs. Xie is becoming more and more arrogant.

On this day, it was the banquet held by the lord of Changping County, and Mrs. Xie, as a hot figure in the circle of noblewomen recently, naturally received the post, but she didn't tell anyone, not even her husband, she was worried that after the news was leaked, the concubines would be cheeky to go with her, which would make her feel very embarrassed.

Since early in the morning, Mrs. Xie has been dressing up, and it was not until near noon that she went out in a circle.

The gold head inlaid with a large ruby, the latest style of Yunjin Luo skirt, Mrs. Xie appeared gracefully and luxuriously at the banquet scene, which instantly attracted the attention of most of the audience, and there were low voices one after another around her, as well as the sound of gasping, these voices became admiration and envy in Mrs. Xie's ears, she straightened her chest and walked proudly to the host of the banquet - the county lord of Changping.

If Mrs. Xie turned around at this time, she would find that most of the ladies and wives present were covering their mouths and snickering, and there was even more ridicule in their eyes.

Because of her high-profile and arrogant style, Mrs. Xie has offended many people unconsciously, but she doesn't realize it at all, and still regards herself as a sweetheart.

The county lord of Changping was surrounded by several ladies talking, and when she saw Mrs. Xie who was walking like a peacock with her head upright, she frowned without a trace.

This expression was only fleeting, but Murong Shi, who was sitting next to the county lord of Changping, saw it clearly, she pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief with mockery, and glanced at a lady opposite.

The lady got the hint, so she smiled and said, "Ouch, it's an eye-opener today, Mrs. Xie's head set, I'm afraid it will cost thousands of taels of silver, right?" Look at the big round ruby, the color is good, it's really rare! ”

Mrs. Xie was only a few steps away from the county lord of Changping, and the lady's voice was not small, so she naturally heard it. Subconsciously stroked the sideburns on her sideburns, she pretended not to care and raised her voice: "Where is it worth a few silvers, it's just for fun." As he spoke, he walked to the county lord of Changping in two steps, and saluted with dignity and grace: "The county lord's mother is healthy." Even when she saluted, she raised her chin slightly.

Seeing this, the more straightforward ladies couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

And those who have suffered losses in front of Mrs. Xie recently sneered in their hearts.

There are not many ladies who have contact with the county lord of Changping, however, all the ladies and wives who have been in contact with her know that the county lord of Changping is a rare outlier in the royal family - this county lord is blessed and loves poverty!

Obviously, Mrs. Xie didn't know anything about the county lord of Changping.

Mrs. Xie only took it for granted that the banquet held by the emperor's relatives would be very magnificent, and she would also be extremely luxurious, so she had the current outfit. She didn't even notice that the pretty ladies and ladies were dressed much more plainly than usual.

In Shengjing City, the respect for honesty and nobility, the lord of Changping County is the second, no one dares to call the first, this is born rich and noble, full of respect, even if the princesses see the woman who respectfully calls her aunt, but she is born against the bones, she hates the intrigues and tricks of officialdom, and dislikes the luxury and wealth of the world.

As the favorite niece of the first emperor, the cousin of today, the lord of Changping is very talented, and the appearance is outstanding, and he was awarded the title at the age of seven, which can be described as extremely favored, but it is a pity that this honored and favored woman, and the woman with a good character, is still alone, and has only been guarding the tablet for ten years.

It's also a poignant story.

At that time, she was the dream object of the famous sons in Beijing, and she was also the first person to be envied and hated by the ladies of the ladies, even if they didn't want to admit it, but many people of that generation firmly believed that only the "first son" was worthy of the lord of Changping, and only the lord of Changping was worthy of the "first son". However, to everyone's surprise, the "first son" married a spicy woman with an unbearable reputation, and the county lord of Changping made a private lifelong agreement with a young student from a poor background.

If the story ends here, everyone will just sigh and say that God has no eyes, but this is not the end.

The ending is - the man who is happy with the lord of Changping County was beaten to death by the bully before the palace examination, and after investigation, it was instigated by the son of the family who participated in the palace examination at the same time, just because the man who was happy with the lord of Changping County is very likely to be in the top three in high school. The lord of Changping County has always been jealous of evil, and he will not let go of the evildoer, after avenging his sweetheart, she is holding the tablet to worship and marry, and she has been widowed so far.

Since then, the county lord of Changping has become more and more radical and more disgusted with the nobles of the family.

And this time, the reason why the county lord of Changping invited Mrs. Xie was because he heard about the noble name of the Xie family, and the fact that Xie Wuwu held a poetry meeting and invited many students from poor families to participate.

I just didn't want to, and it turned out to be too disappointing for her.

Looking at Mrs. Xie, who seemed to be humble and gentle in front of her, but was actually noble and arrogant, the county lord of Changping frowned even tighter, and she said lightly: "Excuse me." ”

The tone is very distant.

Although the county lord of Changping dislikes the rich and loves the poor, she will never lose face for no reason, so even if she doesn't like Mrs. Xie, she doesn't show it.

It's just that she saved face, but it made some people self-righteous.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie got up happily and squeezed directly to the side of the county lord of Changping and sat down. R1152
